Watched the double bill on new years night, the first part I thought was very good indeed, with a lot of mystery, the series is Sci-fi and has had good moments and the odd bad one.
The sex bits at the start of the series connected and were fun, |I liked the Alien in the girl at the start who killed men through orgasm that was a good story, I felt the Kiss between the two Captains wasn't necessary in this double bill, it seemed to be added for no reason, just effect,the holding hands was understood.
Part two was interesting the monster a bit big, but it was lost on me when you could see normal motorway traffic in the background going both directions at normal speed, white vans clearly seen, we saw people panic in the streets, wouldn't everyone in the country be panicking, driving away.
Maybe I am looking at it too much, but our good old Doctor has a find track record, Torchwood seemed to have messed everything up, they have touched. if I was in government or in America I would have closed them down.
They cause the time rift, they cause murders a few weeks back, one of their team, they kept a Cyberwoman, they were told to look after people from 1959, one dead- killed himself, ( assisted by Jack) one of the team misused his position and had an affair with a lady in his care, and only one lady went on to have a job.
Lastly the ''Tardis sound'' was good at the end, all that was required, one, you know the noise you didn't need to see its the Doctor, Captain Jack will be in the later part of the next DW series and I read one episode will be all about him only, ( without the Doc) to explain everything about Jack, and then that's a good cross over from Torchwood, plus remember David Tennent is very busy and would also demand a fee for appearing for a short time,
Like the Doctors hand its all 'in references' for the long standing Doctor fans to spot and enjoy, you do not need it in your face, its enjoyable looking for them.
As the Prime minister has been on BBC News 24 at Christmas pleading for the Doctor, you would have thought clever Gwen would have guessed who Jack's Doctor was.
